Having the option of both steel tip and soft tip is great and will attract both types of players to your home for a lot of fun. Bounce outs are a common complaint with this board but I've found them no more common than on any other board. I suspect for the price point people expected less. But in all honesty, most of my bounce outs are from poor throws and with better technique, Ive almost eliminated them entirely! The sensitivity is amazing simply taping my finger on the board will register a throw and the talking is minimal and if you dont like it , then simply turn it off. Your board will remain silent but illuminated with constant score keeping. I played a few games even one against the computer and minus the smoke filled room and bartender thought I was at my favorite watering hole. I know my review is a bit on the too positive side and may sound like its from someone affiliated with the makers. But I assure you I'm not and for proof. Heres a pic of mine. Enjoy!

I got this just in time for a superbowl party. Everybody really liked it. I love the bristle board. The darts stayed in 95% of the time. Quality material. The only thing I found wrong was the right door didnt shut flush. It sticks out just a smidge. But overall this is a good buy. Compared to the price of other dart boads this one is well worth the price.
